Please bring their permission letter to the school tomorrow so we can get students where they need to be.

The FMSD department of athletics raffled off a $20 gift certificate to Hibachi Express at the September 12th Forest-Union volleyball match as part of the new "Dinner on the Bearcats" program. The program is designed to increase fan attendance at home ball games. The lucky winner was Angela Roebuck. She is pictured with her daughter, Union volleyball player Lauryn Roebuck.
Brother David Slaughter and Mr. Eddie Clark of Forest United Methodist Church stopped by Hawkins Middle School this morning with a donation of school supplies. We greatly appreciate the generosity of the ladies and gentlemen of the church and community for making this happen.
